LIQUID-FUEL BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 27, 1914.

T all whom it may concern Be it known that I, VVAssILI Gouom, a

a subject of the Czar of Russia, and residing at VVassili Ostrow, 18Linie, St. Petersburg,

Russia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Liquid-FuelBurners,

of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to apparatus for burning liquid fuel in furnaces,of the type in which the fuel is received upon a rotating surface of acentrifugal sprayer, which is arranged in a casing to which air issupplied, the surface throwing the fuel off in the form of a spray bycentrifugal action;

The present invention consists in an improved apparatus of this kind, inwhich the centrifugal sprayer is provided with a circumferentialsurface, as distinguished from a transverse surface, and the liquid fuelis introduced into the casing in such a manner as to impingedirectly'upon this circumferential surface. The liquid fuel ispreferably introduced into the pasin in a direction perpendicular to theaxis 0 the sprayer.

In the accompanying drawings is illustrated by way of example oneembodiment of the present invention.

- Figure 1 is an end elevation of the arrangement in partial section atAB of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a plan. Fig. 3 is a sectional elevationat C-D ofFig. 4 looking toward the outlet. Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation at G Hlooking toward the outlet. Fig. 4 is a section at E-F of Fig. 3.

1 is a casing tapering forwardly which can be located wit iin the firingspace of a furnace. The casing 1 is closed at the rear end by means ofadome 2 the end of which is closed by a grating 3. The dome supports ashaft 7 in suitable bearings 5 and 6, on which shaft are mountedrotating surfaces 11-12 to which the liquid fuel is supplied I througha'tube 13 provided with a cock 32. On rotation of the shaft 7 the liquidis vaporizing surface and vice versa.

thrown off tangentially from the surfaces 1112 and partly burnt Whilethe unconsumed sprayed liquid particles arrive at the heatedv surfacesof the casing 1 and are vaporized. The smaller the distance between thevaporizing surface and the spraying device the smaller is the portion ofthe combustible whichis burnt on its way to It? e shaft 7 may be drivenby means of a tur bine 9 located in the domeat the rear end with steamfrom a nozzle 1 1- at the end of a pipe 15 leading to a steam generatingspace 16. This latter is closed by means of a cover 17. The supply ofwater for the steam generator is effected through a pipe 20 with a cock21.

The turbine wheel 8 is open at the center and in this opening 10 isformed a fan 10 for effecting the delivery of fresh air. The current ofair is increased by a fan 11 which is arranged at the middle of thespraying device 11-12.

The adoption of fans renders the combustion entirely independent of theheight of the chimney and thus allows the arrangement to be used in allcases where an artificial draft is indispensable or desirable.

Having now described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is:

1. A liquid fuel burner, comprising a casing, a rotating centrifugalsprayer in said casing, a turbine for driving said sprayer, located at apoint distant therefrom, a central aperture in the rotor of saidturbine, and a fan arranged therein for producing a draft through saidcasing.

2. A liquid fuel burner, comprising a combustion chamber, a rotatingcentrifugal sprayer in said combustion chamber, means for introducingliquid fuel to said sprayer, a turbine for driving said sprayer, a steamgenerating pocket located on the exterior of the wall of the combustionchamber adjacent the point at which the fuel is burned, and means forconducting the steam generated in said pocket. to said turbine, fordriving the same.

3. A liquid fuel burner, comprising a casing, a rotating centrifugalsprayer in said casing, consisting of a plurality of plates which are ofdished shape to form circum-, ferential surfaces, and means forintroducing liquid fuel into said casing and causing it to impinge onsaid circumferential surfaces.

4.. A liquid fuel burner, comprising a combustion chamber, an annularcentrifugal sprayer in said chamber, means for supplying liquid fuel tosaid sprayer, an annular steam turbine for rotating said sprayer, meansassociated with the combustion chamber for generating steam to drivesaid turbine, and a pair of fans, one of which is sprayer."
